The engine, transmission, bolt-on Dayton wire wheels, and the SW Tachometer are all gone -- but the body and frame are still together and solid. (The stance of the car is considerably higher than it would be if the Mercury Flathead was still under the hood.)
New to the car is a rollbar (not in this photo), a pair of "over-the-hill" leather seats (described as having come out of a Jaguar XKE) and a push bar (the kind of rear T-bar that is used to push start a flat lakes racer or a sprint car).
The car is sitting on old and partially-rotted tires, mounted on steel wheels. The wheels are painted gold -- presumably matching the gold paint of the car from the 1950's photos.
